Strawberry & Banana Smoothie

My mum and I came up with this smoothie yesterday because it was perfect for a sunny day and also, the strawberries and bananas we had were overripe so we didn't want them to go to waste. This smoothie is quick, fresh and super healthy! It's an amazing breakfast to boost up your energy levels in the morning and it can be a substitute to your 'supermarket juice' during lunch and dinner. This smoothie includes of just THREE ingredients: 

• Frozen strawberries 
• Frozen bananas
• Cranberry & pomegranate juice
• NO SUGAR. The natural sugars from the fruits is all we need. 
• NO ICE. Since the fruits are already frozen, they are able to create that 'smoothie' consistency that we're looking for.   

To be honest, this smoothie works well with all different kinds of fruits. If you're a banana and a strawberry lover then this recipe will tingle your taste buds. However, if you're not a great fan of these fruits, you can always substitute them with other fruits such as raspberries, kiwi, apples, oranges and many more! You can even do a veggie version by adding celery, tomatoes or spinach. Try to be open-minded by exploring different kinds of fruits and veggies. It'll open you to different flavours, which makes fruits and veggies even more exciting.     

Moreover, I didn't really need any measurements for this smoothie because I just stirred and tasted throughout the process of making it. It all depends on your likes on how you want your smoothie to be. Some people like it sweet, so add more fresh fruits (not frozen), for those who likes it a bit sour then add a bit of lemon juice (or just leave it because some fruits can be sour)

This is all you need to make a tasty smoothie!

Just follow these easy four steps & you can have a fresh smoothie in just minutes!

Step 1:

Blend half of the juice and all 
of the frozen strawberry in a 
blender until some of the 
strawberries has been crushed 
and smoothed.

Step 2:

Then, gradually add the 
rest of the juice and blend 
until it reaches the 
right consistency.

Step 3:

Pour half of the smoothie 
in a jar to leave some 
space for the bananas.

Step 4:

Gradually add the bananas 
until all of it has been 
blended. Then mix the rest 
of the smoothie in one jar. 

3 ingredients, 4 steps and you got yourself a smoothie! That's one of your 5-a-day sorted!

Perfect for a sunny day! :)
